Season 1: California Resistance (Phase 2) Tuesday, 18 November 2025
- NEWDB-12verified
New shotgun: DB-12
The DB-12 is a new pump-action shotgun with two barrels that feeds from two separate tubes.
A dual-barrel pump-action shotgun with dual tubes.
- Added in California Resistance (Nov 18, 2025). Dual barrel pump-action shotgun that feeds from two different tubes.
TipAs a shotgun it is class-agnostic, so it is a fast answer to indoor flankers on any loadout; the dual tubes favor a get-in, dump-both, reset playstyle in CQB.
